Chapter 36: Strong Person

“You Brat…”

Toulon looked at Shu Ke in surprise. He had never expected Shu Ke to have such enthusiasm. They should have already witnessed Lilia’s power.

This was definitely an expert that Shu Ke had never seen in his entire life. Her strength was not something the elders of the Vincent family could compare to.

From her point of view, the elders of the Vincent family were just some strong ants. They were basically nothing.

“Teacher, I made such a statement because I have thought it through.”

“I’ll definitely prove this to you. Your disciple isn’t some trash who only knows big talk!”

Hearing Shu Ke’s words, Toulon couldn’t help but smile.

“Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you say, kid. But now that we’re in the Royal Academy, there are many things I can’t help you with so you must be careful.”

Toulon looked at Shu Ke as if he was looking at his own child with satisfaction on his face.

After this incident, Shu Ke was like his own child in Toulon’s eyes.

In the beginning, Toulon only felt this way after seeing Lilia.

As long as Lilia was around, the chances of him successfully taking Shu Ke away would greatly increase. Moreover, he wouldn’t be chased by the Vincent family after that. That was the most important thing.

After spending time with Shu Ke, Toulon’s recognition and affection towards him had greatly increased. From the beginning, he wanted to do Shu Ke a favor. When Shu Ke grew up in the future, he would also be able to reap some benefits. But for now, Toulon treated Shu Ke as his own disciple.

That was why Toulon had told Shu Ke so much. In fact, he viewed Shu Ke as a disciple who could truly inherit his legacy. That was why he had placed so much importance on Shu Ke.

“Don’t worry teacher. Since I’ve been able to stay in the Vincent family for so long, and I’m still alive and well, you should understand that I’m not an impulsive person.”

“That’s true. Kid, you can’t do anything else, but when it comes to patience, you’re absolutely the best!”

Toulon immediately nodded his head in agreement. The fact that this kid, Shu Ke, was able to stay in the Vincent family for so long, and only turned against the Vincent family after resolving his cultivation problem, showed endurance.

“In that case, I’m relieved. To be honest, I’m not your teacher. Other than the Wolf Sword Technique, I didn’t teach you anything.”

Toulon sighed softly. Although he said Shu Ke was his disciple, in reality, he didn’t call Shu Ke anything. In fact, he didn’t even help that much.

It was also because of this that Toulon suddenly became like this.

“Teacher, you are too modest. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I would have already died in the Vincent family. It’s a great honor to be able to call you my teacher. What is there to be humble of?”

Shu Ke looked at Toulon with a serious expression, one of endless gratitude. On the contrary, it made Toulon feel a little uncomfortable.

“You sure know how to make people happy.”

Toulon chuckled and shook his head. “Forget it. Since matters have come to this point, I won’t say anything more. Take this as a token of my appreciation.”

As Toulon spoke, he placed a ring into Shu Ke’s hand.

‘a storage ring?!’

Shu Ke felt that something was off the moment that ring entered his hand. This was definitely not an ordinary ring, but a storage ring.

One had to know that any storage ring, even if it was one of the lowest grades, would require at least a few thousand gold coins.

In addition, there would definitely be many Dou Techniques, supplies, and other items within this ring. It is priceless!

Shu Ke never thought that Toulon would give him such a valuable thing. He was about to open his mouth to return the ring, but Toulon interrupted him.

“After all, you are my disciple. You will be laughed at by others when you arrive at the academy if you don’t have a storage ring. That would be bad, wouldn’t it?”

Toulon revealed a smile to Shuke, just like an old farmer looking at the wheat in his own field, full of happiness and satisfaction.

“No one wants to be laughed at by others. Moreover, when you arrive at the academy, there will inevitably be competitions and comparisons between the students. Since it can not be avoided, you have to become someone who will not be embarrassed.”

Toulon said with a gentle face, “You have already been humiliated enough in the Vincent family. So we have to be as confident as possible in the future!”

Toulon smiled and pat Shu Ke on the back, his face beaming with joy.

“Teacher…”

Shu Ke had never thought that Toulon would take him so seriously.

In fact, he knew what Toulon had in mind when he lent a helping hand to Shu Ke before.

Although Shu Ke had always been very respectful to Toulon, in reality, he didn’t really approve of Toulon. The two of them were similar—people who had fallen to the bottom.

But now, Shu Ke acknowledged Toulon’s identity as a teacher. This was because Toulon was truly looking at Shu Ke’s problems from the perspective of an elder, a teacher, and even a parent.

This was the first time he had met someone who cared so much about him. Ever since his parents disappeared, he had always been on guard and used by others. It had been a long time since he had felt this type of kindness.

Therefore, Shu Ke cherished Toulon’s kindness even more.

“Actually, you don’t need to care too much about these. You just need to be yourself. You are a Dou Spirit after all. No matter where you go, you’re a strong person!”

“If you really can’t stay in the academy anymore, we can continue living in another place.”

Toulon was still smiling as he looked at Shu Ke like a mentor.

“I’ll try to remember that.”

Shu Ke nodded, and then looked up to the sky. Magical beasts and flying props were flying past their heads.

Countless noises sounded in their ears.

A glorious world was being displayed before Shu Ke’s eyes. This was the Royal Academy, Shu Ke’s brand new stage!

“You’ll have to walk the rest of the way on your own. Just move forward, keep moving forward!”
